Fire and Emergency Medical Services is a branch of Clemson University's Department of Public Safety within the Division of Student Affairs. Fire & EMS is dedicated to providing a safe campus environment for faculty, staff, students, and visitors.

While we hope that your visit or stay in Clemson is safe, enjoyable and uneventful, we know that from time-to-time emergencies do occur. Our department stands ready to respond and assist you in handling fire, emergency medical, and emergency preparedness needs. The department is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. We enjoy the unique distinction of being only a few of the full-time, year-round residents of campus.

Our primary response area is the main campus of Clemson University centered around Tillman Hall on Calhoun Memorial Drive. We also provide contracted Fire Suppression response to the City of Clemson geographically adjoining and nearly encompassing the University campus. Lake Hartwell comprises the remaining campus border.

If you ever feel uncomfortable about a situation, contact us immediately. Small problems can quickly turn into larger problems, so it's important to recognize when help is needed. We can provide a wide range of prevention and response services to assist in an almost any emergency situation.
